Got this in an e-mail from a friend and thought I would share it with all of you.

Jangle Jangle
(sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)



Trudging through the snow,
With a mule tied to a shay,
The old mule wouldn't go,
We drug him all the way.
The bobtailed fool sat down,
Like he was out of breath,
It took all night to get him home,
And we "bout near froze to death!

Oh... Jangle Bells, Jangle bells,
Oh what misery!
Don't hitch up old Dobbin if
you're coming after me!!!
Jangle bells, Jangle bells
Jangle all the way,
You can have your open shay
I'll keep my Chevrolet!

Sliding down a hill,
On an old ramshackle sled,
Laughing fit to kill
At something someone said,
Forgot to watch the road,
Not looking where we went,
We ran into a barbed wire fence,
Got our Christmas Spirit skint!

Oh... Jangle bells, Jangle bells
I have paid the price,
Busted bones, aches and groans
From falling on the ice...
Jangle bells, Jangle bells,
Dashing through the hills,
All I get for Christmas
Is a flock of doctor bills!

Slipping down a street,
On an old banana peel,
Could not stay on my feet,
They were slicker that an eel,
My feet flew in the air,
And I let out a yell,
Landed on my pocket book
And broke my jangle bells!

Oh... Jangle bells, Jangle bells
Ringing in my head!
Oh, what fun it is to slip and
slither on a sled...
Jangle bells, Jangle bells
Like the wise man said,
"Careful where you slide or
You'll spend Christmas Day in bed!

I've got an old tom cat
And "Santa" is his name,
I keep him nice and fat,
But he hates me just the same.
He got at me today
With those needles in his paws,
And now I'm wearing bandages
On account of Santa's claws!!!

Oh... Jangle bells, Jangle bells
Jangle all the way,
We don't know all the words
But we sing it anyway...
Jangle bells, Jangle bells
A'ringin' loud and gay
We'll be hearing jangle bells
From now till Christmas Day!!!

Cecilia,

That was good, I have been sheltered these past days from being in stores or listen to the radio, so I have not heard many Christmas songs yet. I do love Christmas songs, all of them, EXCEPT one..lol I heard it today at the grocery store, Jingle bells sung by liza minneli (SP?), I was not hungry any more after that...lol

Thanks for this one!

Don

I can just imagine. One of my very favorite Christmas songs ever is called "The Shelter" and the only place I have ever heard it is on the CD that my daughter bought for me by The Tractors. The CD is called "Have Yourself a Tractors Christmas" and is about 10 or 11 years old. Here are the words to the song.

The Shelter
By Wiley Hunt

There's snow on the ground and no rooms in town
Nowhere for spenin' the night
Except an old shed with hay for a bed
And Mary she says that's all right
Joseph don't like it, His Mary's with child
What if this is the night she gives birth
But when he has nothin' a man comes to see
Just how much a little is worth.

The trip's been a hard one, They crossed the courtyard
To the barn at the back of the Inn
They lay down to sleep among cattle and sheep
And wait for this night to begin
Now she sees he's worried, with love in her eyes
She reaches out and touches his face
She says, a barn is a mansion if its walls shelter love
For some reason God has chosen this place

The baby's arrival fills up the night
And the light from a beautiful star
Lights up the darkness so gloriously bright
And sines down on the world near and far
And directly below it as if on a string
This shelter of such humble design
Givin' warmth and protection to the child Jesus Christ
Our Lord and Savior, King of Mankind.

Very cute, Cecilia!

Romans 14 verse 5 One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. 3 Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.
